Firstgiving fees

Thousands of nonprofits use our service as a way to reduce administrative costs. We charge a 5% fee on each donation, plus a 2.5% credit card fee, bringing the total fee to 7.5%.

For example, with a $25 donation:
  • - 0.63 (2.5% credit card processing fees)
  • - 1.25 (5% Firstgiving fee)
  • $23.12 goes to the nonprofit

Our 5% transaction fee covers:
  • securing and hosting the site so you can take comfort in leaving your credit card details
  • vetting 501 (c) nonprofits associated with GuideStar
  • removing extra steps in processing offline donations
  • providing exceptional support - when you contact us, you speak to real people. We’re fundraisers and donors, just like you.
  • ensuring the money you raise gets to the nonprofit quickly and safely
